1. Elliot Segal is going to be the new morning guy on WNEW. He will play music... it will not be a straight ahead talk show.
2. In a general sense, the music you now hear on WNEW is sort of what the station will evolve into (NOT exactly so please
don't start incorrectly quoting me). Not necessarily a straight ahead CHR, but a station that leans toward female tilted
pop/rock/AAA. Some combination of all that... at least that's the best I can determine.
3. Ken Stevens and Jeremy Coleman are still employed by Infinity but their future is unclear.
4. O&A are NOT going back on the air with Infinity (so forget WXRK) but the company will pay out their contracts to keep
them off elsewhere. Clearly there is concern they may come back to threaten Stern on a competing station. Translated
that means they're being paid to do nothing for the next year and a half.
For now, this is what I'm hearing so I'm passing it on to those who are interested.
Stay tuned.
